THE BEST SUGAR FREE MAPLE SYRUP
It's Sunday morning, and you just whipped up a batch of thick and fluffy keto pancakes. And now you need a maple syrup substitute to drizzle on your pancakes while keeping your breakfast low carb.
Enter this keto maple syrup recipe - it's sweet, has a buttery and bold maple flavor, and the consistency is on point.
But instead of being loaded with sugar - or tasting fake like the store-bought kind - it is a sugar-free syrup that has a ridiculous authentic maple syrup flavor.
And this keto syrup has way fewer ingredients than the ones you'll find in the store, and it is way cheaper too!
Oh, and just when you thought this recipe couldn't get any better, it is super simple to make. And it might even be fun to make with the kids!
INGREDIENTS
So, you'll need a few common keto ingredients and a few specific ones for creating maple syrup.
Here is what you'll need:
- ¾ cup Brown Swerve
- ⅓ cup Confectioners Swerve
- 2 ½ cups water
- 2 heaping tbsps. maple extract
- 1 teaspoon butter extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
If you don't have all of these ingredients, make sure you pick them up ASAP because this syrup is a total game-changer.
By the way, you can use a lot of these ingredients to make these 5-minute Keto Cinnamon Rolls so give those a shot next.
KETO FRIENDLY SWEETENERS TO USE
Ok, so we will be making a sugar-free maple syrup recipe that tastes like it's straight from a maple tree.
And to do this, we will be using a combination of Brown Swerve and Confectioners Swerve. Both are 0 calorie and 0 sugar sweeteners that will add the perfect sweetness to this syrup.
Now, you can substitute the Confectioners Swerve with Lakanto's Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener, and you'll get the same amazing result.
However, I do not recommend substituting the Brown Swerve with another sweetener - I've found that it is by far the best brown sugar replacement and works really well in this recipe.
HOW TO MAKE KETO PANCAKE SYRUP
In just a few easy steps, you'll have ridiculously good maple syrup that will change your keto breakfast forever.
And this recipe will make a couple of bottles worth of syrup, so make sure you have some empty ones on hand!
Now, I know you're ready for some maple goodness, so let's get to it.
STEP 1: BOILING YOUR SYRUP
The first thing you will do is take out a medium-sized pot and add your brown swerve, confectioners swerve, and water to it.
Then mix those ingredients with a spoon and put your pot on a burner over medium heat.
Next, bring this mixture to a boil, and you'll want to stir your ingredients occasionally as you're waiting for it to boil. And then once it boils, turn the heat down to low.
STEP 2: COMBINING THE OTHER INGREDIENTS
Ok, so your pot should be over low heat. Now you can add your maple syrup extract, butter extract, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the pot.
Then, take out a whisk, and whiskify the ingredients you just added together until they combine with the water-sweetener mixture.
When they do, add your xanthan gum to the pot to give your mixture its syrupy consistency. Then, after you've done that, you can turn your burner up a couple of notches and continuously whisk everything together for a couple of minutes.
Next, take your pot off the heat and set it aside for around 30 minutes so it can cool down to room temperature.
STEP 3: FINISHING YOUR MAPLE SYRUP
Once your maple syrup has cooled to room temperature, use a funnel to pour it into empty maple syrup jars.
And again, this recipe will make multiple jars of keto maple syrup, so you're going to need a few jars.
Then after the syrup is in the jars, you can put it in the fridge to cool down even more.
While the syrup is cooling in the fridge, you might get some crystallization from the Brown Swerve.
But not to worry, it's super easy to get rid of that - all you have to do is add some of the maple syrup to a bowl before you use it and then warm it up in the microwave for about a minute.
Then, after you do that, pour this syrup over one of the recipes below and dig in!
WHAT TO PUT THIS MAPLE SYRUP ON
Ok, so you have crazy delicious maple syrup, now you need some recipes that are just as delicious to put it on.
Well, you've come to the right place because I've got a ton of keto recipes that are the perfect match for this syrup. Try putting it on these:
- Keto Banana Pancakes
- Keto 1-Minute Pancakes
- Keto Coconut Flour Cream Cheese Pancakes
- Keto Almond Flour Pancakes
- Keto French Toast
- Keto Chaffles
HOW TO STORE KETO MAPLE SYRUP
As you know by now, this recipe will make a few jars of maple syrup. And what's great about it is it stores super well, so you'll be all set for the next few months!
This maple syrup will last in the refrigerator for 6 months in bottles or sealable glass jars.
And as I mentioned earlier, your syrup may build up some crystallization when it is chilling.
So all you have to do to get rid of it is add the maple syrup you're going to use to a bowl and warm it in the microwave for about a minute.

Wow wow wow!!! We made this for brunch today, and it is honest to god the best sugar free maple syrup we’ve ever had.
Mal Edie says
Would I be able to sub maple extract for “Better Stevia Maple 0-Calorie Liquid Sweetner” or sub a tad bit of sugar free maple syrup? I don’t have maple extract. I really wanna make this keto maple syrup recipe.
The Diet Chef says
I wouldn't recommend it...I just don't think it will work.
Johnny says
Made this over the weekend and it has been incredible. I've used it everyday so far and love it.
Christal says
I'm definitely a Simon Cowell when it comes to taste and this is by far the best Keto Syrup I've tried!
This recipe randomly popped up on my Google Home Saturday and I knew I had to try it. This beats Maple Grove Farms, Log Cabin, Lakanto (by a LONG shot), Walmart brand, and Choc Zero's overpriced Maple (which WAS [past tense] the best, in my opinion, out of all of the previously named ones)!! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe!
Tip: If you don't eat syrup a lot, I'd recommend making 1/2 of the recipe, cause it's still a lot! Also, after it's freshly made, it may have an after-taste that resembles Lakanto (but not as bad). Don't let that scare you. After a night in the fridge, it will be gone and you'll be left with delicious goodness :)
The Diet Chef says
glad you liked it Crystal!!
Sue Ungar says

AMAZING! Added a splash of Jordan's skinny "maple bourbon pecan" syrup to the mix.. OUTSTANDING flavour! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Linda says
I'm going to make this syrup today, but do you think I can use real melted butter instead of butter extract? Do you think that would work?
The Diet Chef says
Should work ok, but it's going to solidify so just make sure to warm up before each use.
Mimi says
Used this on pancakes today, fantastic syrup.
randy todosychuk says
Hi Joe, can't wait to make this recipe. Which pancake recipe are you pouring the syrup Over? They look amazing!
The Diet Chef says

Mal says
Put this on pancakes this morning and I think I was in heaven!
Kayla says
Tastes like pure maple syrup so good!!1
Karlene says
I use this the most out of anything and it is wondrous.
Auds says
Just made this today. Forgot to buy butter flavor extract, used. 2tsp butter. Turned out great. Thank you.
Michelle says
Please help me! My toddler distracted me after I put in the xanthum gum and it boiled too long and now the texture is very thick and slimy. Is there something I can do to smooth it out and fix the texture without losing this whole batch?
Julie says
I made this and have been using it with a protein-sparing French toast and it is very tasty. However, seems like the total carbs are way off. I understand that it's zero NET carbs, but the total carbs are much higher. So, take a look at this and tell me what I'm missing:
1/3 cup of confectioner's Swerve (16 tsp) has 48 g TOTAL carbs
3/4 cup of brown Swerve (36 tsp) has 144g TOTAL carbs
for a total of 192g TOTAL carbs
divided by 25 servings=7.68g TOTAL carbs per 2 Tbsp serving
This is one of the first times I'm using one of your recipes. Do you only share net carbs in your recipes? I mean, what you listed seems like it is not the "full nutritional breakdown" as you stated at the bottom of the recipe.
It is very delicious, though, but I will likely have to find a different syrup as this one is too high-carb for what I'm currently doing (switching to total carbs as net carbs no longer works for weight loss).
Thanks for any insight you are able to give!
The Diet Chef says
Hey Julie, I think what you're missing is the fact that the package also says 0 calories. The FDA makes companies label all sugar alcohols as carbs even though some of them have no calories...and should be tracked as actually have NO CARBS. This is the case with Swerve.
Bonnie says
Absolutely amazing recipe and my one and only go to for keto maple syrup!! Thank you!
